I’ve been collecting cards for years, but it was only recently (the last year or so) that I started occasionally hitting up card shows in my area. It’s become a bit of a fun routine with one of my best friends where we’ll hit up a card shows, a record shop, maybe a comic shop and just make an afternoon of it.. I don’t normally buy much (things often feel higher priced than some avenues online, and I’m not much one for negotiating) but I’ll normally flip some cheap boxes for things I find fun.
This time it oddly became a football day. I say that cause I think every other card show I’ve gone to has seen me leaving with a handful of baseball cards. But that was the vibes, it was a football day for us both, with HEAVY influence from the LethalCat888 Madden 25 connected franchise.
Pickups:
- Rome Odunze - RC - 2024 Score-A-Treat (Green)
- Rome Odunze - RC - 2024 Score-A-Treat (Orange)
- Kenneth Walker III - RC - 2022 Panini Absolute Football
- Jaxson Smith-Njigba - RC - 2023 Panini Absolute Football
- Jaxson Smith-Njigba - 2024 Score-A-Treat (Green)
- Jaxson Smith-Njigba - 2024 Score-A-Treat (Orange)
That 2024 Score Halloween set is fun, and it’s the right season for the pickups. Bonus points for the orange colour match on Odunze and green color match on JSN. I wore my Odunze jersey to the card show, so I couldn’t justify leaving those behind when I came across the pair at a table.
We also ventured through a collectables store at the location of the card show which didn’t result in any more card purchases, but a flip through the $1 bin resulted in an add to the comic collection. I’ll read it of course, but I mainly grabbed it cause the cover rules and I may frame it for when I build an at-home display for my Marvel figures.
Another bonus, my break stuff. To give some context, I’m that asshole that does a ton of breaks and let’s stuff build up before I ever get the cards. Doesn’t impact him much, as he just drops it to my buddy since he knows I’ll see him semi-regularly. I had like 6-7 breaks worth of stuff that were just taking up space at my buddy’s place, so he was happy to finally get that out of his house and into my hands haha - I won’t get into all the base (or even the inserts) but these are the highlights of that stuff.
All around, a pretty good day!
